My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**WE'RE A FOSTER-BASED RESCUE, NOT A SHELTER**

Zander is a young Lab mix around 1-2 years old. He was found wandering in the country, but not microchipped and nobody ever claimed him so he may have been dumped. He's such a sweet boy, but can take a moment to warm up to strangers. He gets along well with other dogs and has been doing well learning house manners. He has some separation anxiety as well, but that's also being worked on in foster care.

If you'd like to meet or adopt Zander please first fill out the application on our website SHELTERFRIENDS.ORG Processing can take up to 5 days, and then a volunteer will email you. Be sure to add shelterfriendsok@gmail.com to your contacts so our messages don't go to your spam folder. Thanks!

More about this rescue

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding homes for pets in rural Oklahoma animal shelters through adoption events and fundraisers. We're focused on the Newcastle animal shelter since that's where we're based, but we also pull from other rural shelters when we can. We are a foster-based program, meaning that all of our dogs live in private foster homes NOT a facility. This gives them better socialization skills, which makes them a more well-adjusted pet. Also, the foster parent is able to learn about the pet’s personality, likes, and dislikes so that he can be better matched to the right forever home. We always need great foster families, so if you're interested in learning more on becoming one please visit our website to apply: www.shelterfriends.org
